Nutmeg Christmas Protein Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Soft butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Baking soda
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 scoop Dymatize ISO100 Gourmet Vanilla™ protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar for topping
- ¼ teaspoon Ground nutmeg for topping
Directions
- Set it to 350°F / 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your protein cookies come out perfectly.
- Combine all-purpose flour, ground nutmeg, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and 1 scoop of Dymatize ISO100 Gourmet Vanilla™ protein powder in a small bowl. Mixing these ingredients will give your protein cookies a soft, flavorful base with an added protein boost.
- In a separate bowl, cream the soft butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined. This will create a smooth, creamy batter ready for the dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky, but don’t worry – it’s perfect for scooping!
- Use a teaspoon to scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between the scoops as the protein cookies will spread slightly while baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 8 – 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with ground nutmeg. While the nutmeg Christmas cookies are still warm, sprinkle this sweet, spicy topping over them for an extra festive touch.
